Apparently, 15 autoworkers feel that having a job is something they have taken for granted when working for Chrysler. The took it for granted so much, that they decided to become boozehounds and druggies during their lunch breaks. Maybe they thought their union would save them from their stupidity. Well, the union didn't save them, at least not yet.
From Fox News: Thirteen plant workers at the Chrysler Jefferson North Assembly plant in Detroit have lost their jobs after a video showing some of them drinking during their lunch break was aired on the Detroit Fox affiliate.
"It has been determined that 13 employees engaged in behavior that violated the company's Standards of Conduct and these 13 employees were discharged today," the company said in a written statement, MyFoxDetroit.com reported. "Two remaining employees will receive a one month disciplinary layoff without pay."
An exclusive investigation by MyFoxDetroit.com showed workers at the plant drinking beer and smoking joints while on a half-hour lunch break just two months after President Obama praised the plant in a speech.

Well, the good thing about this is that 13 workers will be recalled from unemployment or be hired. Hopefully, they will be smarter than the 13 that got fired. The fired employees probably will not get unemployment.
We had this happen in Vegas about a year ago, when a bunch of construction workers at City Center were caught drinking in a bar before work and they were fired.
Why can't people wait 8 hours before they begin drinking? Stupid is as stupid does.
